Carapils Malt - Briess Malting

    Description

    1.7 °L - Briess Malting - Carapils adds body, mouthfeel and improves head retention by adding dextrines, proteins, non-starch polysaccharides, and other body-building compounds into your wort. Carapils is usually used at a level of 5% or less of your total all-grain malt bill. However it can be used at a higher rate in special cases, say if you are making a Session IPA, and are trying to simulate a higher gravity beer. Because of its extremely light color and neutral flavor it won't have much affect on the final color or flavor of your beer. Carapils belongs to a category of malts labeled as Dextrine, sometimes Dextrin, malts. We mention this because you might see either of these names in your recipe.

    You can steep Carapils in an extract batch but will only get about 20% utilization, or 20% of the goodies of this malt dissolved into your beer. While not as complex as Carapils malt, for extract brewing some brewers prefer to use dextrin powder.

        go to staple for body/head retention

        I have this as a staple in most of my IPAs and pales these days. Stay on the light side

        use .5lb in every batch I brew

        Ads that nice head retention to all beers, I'm hooked on using this stuff.

        GREAT HEAD!

        This, and carafoam, both can be used to improve head retention in your homebrews. They work great! Just wish I knew how they made it?!

        Fresh grain. Word of advice - DON'T use too much.

        Gives your beer body

        I enjoy crisp/ thin beers for the most part, but when I tried Tasty McDole's amber I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed the body added by the carapils. I imagine it going great in a thick stout or porter. Doesn't add sweetness, just body.

        Perfect for almost any brew

        This malt won't overpower your brew/flavor but can add significant quality to the finished product. A regular in most IPAs I've brewed.

        Hey Jack

        Hey Hey what can I say. It is Carapils and it seems fresh. It adds to body mouthfeel and head retention. Just don't do what I did one time and add to much on a whim. :>)

        A great malt

        And coming from More Beer, you know it's fresh.

        Great for adding body & head retention

        about .5lb per 5 gallons will do wonders for increasing head retention & adding body, without altering your flavor profile. When I was still doing extract brewing, this went in every batch. I makes a world of difference in the body for extract beers. Great for all-grain too.

        Good body and head

        I used this in an imperial stout to give it a different mouthfeel (smooth) and some head retention. Works great.

        Does what it is supposed to do

        I use Carapils for adding body and head retention without adding sweetness that some caramel malts often add. I use it in almost all my beers.

        Body boost

        Did your last beer fall flat? Try adding some of this grain to the malt bill. Good grain to experiment with.

        Great for head retention

        The whole Cara family has great head retention properties. I highly recommend adding some to every batch you brew.

        MAGIC i tell ya! MAGIC!

        ive always had issues with getting good head( settle down gentlemen) it wasn't till i started all grain and added these to the mix. not sure if it was these or more sugar that was added but it did the trick. now i'm debating to add about .5 lb to ever batch.
